Category II

Withstand ............................. 3,000 V, verified by a 5 s 

dielectric withstand test

Measurement Category II is for measurements performed on 

circuits directly connected to the electrical distribution system. 
This category refers to local-level electrical distribution, such as 
that provided by a standard wall outlet, for example, 115 V for U.S. 

or 230 V for Europe.

Caution

Do 

not

 connect the NI 9437 to signals or use for 

measurements within Measurement Categories III or IV.
